Description

Jordan and Nate are joined by Dr. Michael Thiessen to unpack the recent X controversy over Skillet’s metal cover of O Come O Come Emmanuel. Was it a legitimate artistic expression—or irreverent?

The guys use the moment to explore bigger questions: What is the purpose of art? What makes art good? Can metal glorify God? How should Christians evaluate artistic form, beauty, and intent?

A lively, thoughtful discussion on thinking Christianly about art, worship, creativity, and cultural engagement—sparked by one very loud Advent hymn.
